The Challenger 2 7.62mm MG has pre 0.8 accuracy, at least on Quinling. The bullets do not spread like the bullets from the other tanks. I noticed this yesterday while driving the Challenger 2. Additionally, this observation was shared by the gunner. I saw the tracers flying in a straight line toward our target, not a cone of fire around our target, which was at least 300 meters away, if not closer to 500 meters. I also saw the impact of the bullets on the ground and individual (straight as can be), and the kill. I saw NO NOTICEABLE DEVIATION. I do see the deviation while driving or gunning the other tanks, it is just in the Challenger 2 that I have seen this happen
I am merely posting a bug here, not opening a debate thread. Additionally, I am not seeking "advice" on how to operate my tank. Please refrain from debating whether or not I saw what I saw happening unless you are an [R-Whatever] and are asking a question about my experience or something along those lines to investigate my claim. In all likelihood, I doubt this will even get a response from an R-Dev who investigated due to the overwhelming amount of "bugs" that people report without looking to see if it has been mentioned before or if it even is a bug.

Re: Challenger 2 MG Accuracy
I know what I saw, I have been playing PR for plenty of time. Whether it is a graphical issue on my part or not, I feel like it should be at least investigated and fixed if possible.

Re: Challenger 2 MG Accuracy
Were you seeing it as the driver? Because I swear I saw the same thing on a T90 for some reason.

Unfortunately, I do not know him (my gunner).[R-COM]Outlawz wrote:Were you seeing it as the driver? Because I swear I saw the same thing on a T90 for some reason.

Re: Challenger 2 MG Accuracy
That's what you see as the driver. The gunner (for some reason) see's the spread as it should be. I don't know what happened above, but I have NEVER EVER seen that in ANY of the tanks. It happens on all the tanks as well afaik. Not just the Challenger.
Don't worry about what you're gunner's doing while he's actually engaging targets anyway. You should be covering your back and communicating with him about what's going on, if you've seen something else somewhere for e.g. In return, the tank gunner should always report what he's doing too. Loading AP rounds, infantry at 120°, tank down.... etc etc. You should be free to watch your flanks and look around you at all times while he's engaging targets. You shouldn't need to stare at what he's doing all the time.
p.s I'm not saying you should be looking in different directions at all times but you get what I mean
